Saudi Total Plans for SR25 Million Blending Plant Expansion

Saudi Total has announced plans to expand its blending plant located at the Industrial Valley in King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) with an investment of SR25 (US$6.7) million to reach an annual capacity of 42,000 tons. This expansion will focus on the construction of an additional packaging line, in addition to all the operational works related to production, packaging and distribution.

Hisham Atallah, MD, Saudi Total, on the sidelines of a special meeting, stated that the expansion of the plant will promote the Kingdom's position as a continental pole for the production and exporting of the brand's products. He also affirmed the observance of all occupational and environmental health safety standards, and that production of all lubricants is in line with the strategic vision of the Total.

The Saudi Total plant for blending and packaging lubricants, built on an area of 65000 square metres, is capable of efficiently blending oil and lubricant products, which were manufactured according to the world's highest standards.

At the end of 2014, the plant celebrated its first anniversary and first full year of production of various types of lubricants, and posted an increase of one percent over the production capacity. Saudi Arabia is considered as one of the largest lubricants markets in the Middle East.

The plant has obtained the ISO 9001 Quality Management certificate after ten months of its opening in November 2013.

On August 29, 2015, Saudi Total announced it had realized another achievement this year, in less than two years of startup, when the company achieved the Environmental Management System certificate ISO 14001, an internationally accepted standard that outlines how to put an effective environmental management system in factories, and it provides an internationally recognized assurance that the factory meets the requirements for environmental management systems in its facilities at the highest degree of attention.
